🌴 Busy In Paradise
🏀 Behind The Jersey
🦉 And much, much more

🔼 Busy Week in Paradise. Class is back in session, and so is the action! Florida Atlantic student-athletes returned to the classroom Monday, building on an incredible streak of semesters with a GPA better than 3.0.

On the field, it's a loaded week: women's soccer hosts Howard on Thursday before welcoming Florida on Sunday, men's soccer faces UNF Thursday ahead of a marquee Sunday showdown with No. 2 NC State, and volleyball opens its 2026 season with the Florida Atlantic Invitational Friday and Saturday at Abessinio Court!

🔼 Pack Paradise. Owls, let’s Pack Paradise when FAU hosts Navy at 7:30 p.m. on Sept. 12 for the team’s home opener! FAU will be back at home the following week to take on FIU on Sept. 19 at 6 p.m. Tickets here.

Kickoff Kid. Making memories of a lifetime at Flagler Credit Union Stadium! Enter your KID to be the Flagler Credit Union Kickoff Kid.

🔼 Valsin On Watch. Florida Atlantic's Kelby Valsin is up for a Texas-sized honor! The senior wide receiver was named to the Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award Watch List, recognizing college football's top offensive player with Texas roots. The Arlington native qualifies as a graduate of Bowie High School, where he piled up 1,979 yards and 18 touchdowns in two varsity seasons. Valsin spent three years at Texas Tech learning under current FAU Head Coach Zach Kittley before reuniting with his coaches in Paradise.

🔼 Behind The Jersey. Eric McClellan is back with another edition of Behind The Jersey, and the latest version features Mason Porter-Brown. Porter-Brown is a senior who transferred to FAU from LIU, where he averaged 7.7 points and 3.3 rebounds per game.
